Month-to-Month Residential Rental Agreement

Use this rental agreement if you wish to rent a residential space for a short period of time, or if you want flexibility as to when the tenant moves out. Depending on your state's laws, either party can give notice (generally 30 days) that the agreement is coming to an end. Otherwise, the agreement is self-renewing.

Important to Know:

• If you wish to create a long-term agreement, use the "Fixed-Term Residential Lease".
• State laws vary concerning key issues such as the amount of notice required to end a rental agreement; the maximum amount a landlord may collect for a security deposit; and how landlords must hold, use and return deposits. For this information, turn to Every Landlord's Legal Guide or The California Landlord's Law Book: Rights & Responsibilities.
